 * While I like the discussions, I would have to say the design is pretty much lacking.
 * Lack of color, focal points, engagement and there is no intensity. In fact the
   only focal points seem to be the google adwords.
 * The page itself is very easy to read, but not nearly as aesthic as a simply newspaper.
   Not trying to be offensive, or overly critical, just giving an opinion.
 * IMHO, the site would be better served with at least some intensity in the design
   or even by just adding some cooling colors for a comfortable engagement.

 * IMHO, you did very well, escpecially for being new to the code and system. It
   is a dark theme, which I tend to like, but it lacks any real design elements.
   My current theme is pretty dark, industrial and somewhat image heavy, but I guess
   it’s all relative.
 * I do have a question, the top left menu (simplicity, silence, solitude) will 
   those be content boxes, or just a demo in window control?
 * Ideas: use more color for focal aspects; make people look where you want, and
   add some graphics.
 * PS: I also like the picture you have of the crow, nice snap; me like birdies 
   😉

 * Thanx for taking a peek.
    It diffently has an industrial feel, and I have been
   having a thing for orange and yellow colors lately. Honestly, I have to admit
   that it was much easier to take a design and make it a working theme then I remember.
   I frk’n dig WP! 🙂

 * “took 2.5 minutes to load”… eeek!
    Ok, so I guess optimizing the images and cleaning
   out the code moved up a notch on the priority list.
 * As I mentioned, I moved quickly and am down to just my laptop. So I hadn’t noticed,
   much less tested load time.
    Thanx for peeking, and the spelling catch.
 * (Stupid spelling!)
 * oh yeah, I also made the template into a Coppermine theme for the gallery. It
   looks pretty seamless…I think 🙂
